Analysts have nudged their fair value estimate for Hanwha Aerospace slightly higher, from approximately 1,315,870 to 1,326,739, citing modestly stronger long term revenue growth expectations. These expectations more than offset a marginally higher discount rate and slightly softer projected profit margins.
